you're whitewashing that he's racist



Do you have a source for this?

Also, do you watch his podcast? His host (who's literally also one of his employees) is a black woman. Not proof he's not racist, but suggests probably not.

Unless you just assume anyone to the right of you equals racist, which lots of leftists do. Which is one of many reasons why the global right is rising...



Question: do Palestinians deserve their own country?


Well they had a country until the US and UK stepped in...


They've literally never had a country. Went from Roman to various foreign Islamic states (plus a crusader kingdom and the Mongols briefly) to Ottoman to British to part of Egypt (Gaza) and Jordan (West Bank) to current situation.

Either way, it's weird that leftists will say every culture deserves their own land/country except Europeans...


Palestine existed before the Israeli occupation and annexation of their territory. Palestine is an internationally recognized sovereign state.


You act like Palestine wasn't its own state before mass migration of Israeli settlers. Israelies have been expelling Palestinians and annexing their territory since about 1948.

So, do answer your extremely naive question, yes Palestinians deserve their own country. Preferably the territory they've occupied longer than the Israelies.


Is he? I use Ruby and Rails, but I don't pay much attention to DHH so this is news to me. Would you mind pointing me to a source for this?


He endorsed British far-right agitator “Tommy Robinson” (not his real name) - in the US context this would be like endorsing eg. Nick Fuentes.


So did Elon Musk. So did millions of Brits over the weekend. But I guess the further left the left goes, the further away the right becomes....


“stop hitting yourself”


he's been moaning loudly and histrionically about how london is doomed because there's not enough white natives.
